FIT (Faithful Innovations Team)
Meets first Monday of the month.
We discern, discover, and engage the congregation in faithful innovations and ministries that provide respite for a world in need. This group also oversees parts of the newly forming "Food Ministry," which includes the Blessing Box, St. Basil's Closet, food donations for Community Table, and Blessing Bags. Soles for Souls is also overseen by this team.
Food and Helping Ministries
This ministry is currently under FIT listed above.
We are newly forming this ministry in response to the numerous patrons who stop by the church primarily in need of food. Non-perishable food items are collected through in-kind donations and Thrivent grants. Currently this ministry encompasses the Blessing Box, St. Basil's Closet, food donations for Community Table, and Blessing Bags.
